After the announcement of the Prime Minister, Jean Castex, to lift the status of “particularly reported detainees” (DPS) of Alain Ferrandi and Pierre Alessandri – both sentenced to perpetuity for the assassination of the Prefect Claude Erignac In February 1998 – Friday, March 11, the time seems to appease in Corsica. The Nationalist Gilles Simeoni, President of the Corsican community, welcomed a decision “conforming to the law”. Laurent Marcangeli, Mayor (horizons) of Ajaccio, evoked a “decision of common sense, likely to come out the Corsica of the crisis situation”. The Indoorist Paul-Félix Benedetti (Core in Fronte) welcomed “an application of the right that had been flushed for years”. And the autonomist Jean-Christophe Angelini (Avanzemu), Mayor of Porto-Vecchio, indicated that this decision constituted “the fruit of a fight”. “A global process is needed, including their release and a political solution for Corsica,” he added.
Friday, in Ajaccio, high school students always blocked the institutions of the city, but on the other hand of the previous days, they did not show. The main animators of the movement – high school students and high school students representing all the institutions – met for several hours in the back room of the diamond brewery, in the city center, close to the prefecture and police station Central, “to decide the suite”.
Sunday, March 13, many of them should go to the other side of the island, in Bastia, to participate in the demonstration organized by the various nationalist movements. “The young people managed to make things happen,” they rejoice. They are between 16 and 25 years old. The oldest are students in Corte (Haute-Corse) or on the continent, but most are still in high school. Their first demonstration dates from Sunday, March 6 in Corte and they made their first Molotov cocktails on the evening of Wednesday, March 9, between two loads of CRS or mobile gendarmes.
“We are spoiled children”
They were born in the early 2000s, after the assassination of the Prefect Erignac. They did not live this period. Neither the emotion felt by the insular society, nor the almost unanimous disapproval of this criminal act, nor the hundreds of interligns and custody which, for more than a year, have punctuated the lives of the corsishes. “We have only seen electoral victories”, is one of them (none wants to give its identity), with reference to the successes of the nationalists in the territorial and municipal elections since the years 2010.
